Last weeks defeat at Premier League leaders Chelsea all but ended Arsenal\’s slim hopes of winning the title for another season and they won\’t have it all their own way when they host in-form Hull at The Emirates.
The Gunners\’ are having their usual mid-season wobble and arrive in this clash in real poor form after two successive defeats.
Arsene Wenger is a man under pressure, yet again after his sides\’ woeful display in their last home game against Watford but he will take great confidence knowing that his team haven\’t lost three successive Premier League this season and the bookies don\’t believe that they will and despite their poor form they are still rated just 1.30 with most layers to get the win.
Hull have really impressed me under new manager Marco Silva and with just one defeat in their last four Premier League matches (against leaders Chelsea) for the first time in what has been a difficult season have given themselves a chance of Premier League survival at the end of the season.
Last time out they produced their best performance of the season to beat Liverpool 2-0 and prior to that they held Manchester United to a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford but all their big wins have been at the KC Stadium and away from home they don\’t have enough goals in them to be able to pull-off a 12.00 shock that BetVictor are offering.
The visitors haven\’t won in their last EIGHT matches and in seven of those defeats they\’ve failed to score and that is a big problem even though they time looks just about perfect to be playing Arsenal.
Wenger is a lucky manager and when his back is up against the wall he always seems to get a result and I believe that the home side will just find a way to get maximum points but instead of the 1.30 I will be taking the home side to win to nil which is 2.20 again with green listed bookmakers BetVictor.
Goals look hard to come by as well as Hull will be very well organised at the back and both teams to score “no” and under 2.5 goals are also on my betradar at the general prices of 1.83 and 2.50.
